Stay Informed • Keep Connected • Be Inspired

 Welcome to Lavender Magazine! 
                                    The magazine for thriving survivors of trauma.
   Our weekly eMag allows everyone to take pride in our history, speak their truth about recovery, and provides a constant stream of new ideas from other survivors.
 
   We encourage all women to send in their best affirmations, wisdoms, insights, etc and turn them into compelling columns, articles, and special features.

     If you would like to join the Lavender Sisterhood please email us a LavenderMagazine@yahoo.com.
 
Our basic healing premise
is survivors rarely have a supportive network functioning in their lives.  Depression and isolation are very common behaviors that need to be overcome. These conditions exist regardless of whether she lives in a metropolis or a country farm. Reaching out via the computer offers anonymity and the freedom to find her voice amongst others who will motivate and understand. 

 
We are an eMag and promotional forum for everyone's mutual growth, support  and development of their voice(s).
 
Our goal is to increase your Lavender Awareness of positive role models and consequently change their internal perceptions. 

We want to demonstrate how easy recovery really is when you actively pursue your self education and express your experiences through your arts and talents.

We are a free speech forum

 

It can be what you want!

How to Submit Your Articles & Poetry
Send them to LavenderPower@yahoo.com.    

They don't have to be perfect (spelling, punctuation, etc) because the healing is in the writing process and sharing stories.  The only requirement is they must be written Lavender Sister to Lavender Sister.
